October 2014 at Mentone Public Library will be remembered as a glorious month of memories. From a  fascinating how-to program with Mary O'Rourke in writing your own life story and why you should, to an afternoon- filled array of hilarious, heart-warming and heart breaking prose and poetry from the Mordialloc Writers Group, to a moving retrospective coming-of-age tale of timeless challenges in family dynamics with Suzanne McCourt's stirring tale of loss and learning in The Lost Boy. We invited our talented guest writers for the month of October to reflect on their experience promoting their works and ideas before our Mentone library patrons...

Here is the day in pictures and thoughts from a few of our tellers... Judy Sullivan Having arrived at this ripe old age... 'as old as my tongue and a little bit older than my teeth',(as my mother used to say and is that a good idea for another ses...
